Shout! Factory is offering SciFi Japan readers a chance to win a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack of the anime feature A SILENT VOICE (?? ???, Eiga Koe no Katachi, 2016). A SILENT VOICE comes from the lauded director Naoko Yamada (LIZ AND THE BLUE BIRD) and writer Reiko Yoshida. Among the film’s many accolades are Tokyo Anime Awards for Best Film and Best Screenplay and the Japanese Movie Critics Award for Best Animation. Based on the critically acclaimed manga by Yoshitoki Oima, A SILENT VOICE is a gorgeous anime film with a powerful message about bullying, depression and forgiveness. The moving coming-of-age drama depicts the struggles of adolescence through its memorable characters and stunning animation. When a deaf elementary school girl named Shoko is forced to transfer to a new school after a boy named Shôya constant bullies her, Shôya suffers over the consequences of his guilt for years. Upon entering high school, Shôya finally decides he must find Shoko, to make amends for what he did in elementary school and to become her friend. A SILENT VOICE will be available on Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack (SLP: $26.99) and DVD (SLP: $16.97) April 2 from ELEVEN ARTS and Shout! Factory.
